Expert eyes on the water

Mediterranean Monaco Optimist Academy
24-26 November

Always a hive of activity in the harbour, the Yacht Club de Monaco is organising the first ever Mediterranean Monaco Optimist Academy with 68 entrants registered, mainly Monegasque, French and Italians. From the YCM’s Sports Section, 20 youngsters are taking part in this regatta with a difference. The format is that of fleet racing, but one where coaches can come alongside contestants during races to give them advice.

The idea: one-on-one expertise “as it happens” to help them improve their race tactics, as well as technical skills. The winning club will receive an invitation to take part in the next Monaco Optimist Team Race which runs 11-14 January 2018.
